Die-Cut and Quilling

Hello, Friends!  Marilyn here for Scrapbook Blessing's Club Monday's Die Cut project.  Today I created some magnets for my refrigerator using the Cuttlebug Daisy Quilling Kit.  My tip for this project is to use the correct sized Cuttlebug plates.  You'll need the longer ones to make this go smoothly.

Here is what is needed:
  • Cuttlebug or other die cutting machine
  • Cuttlebug Quilling Kit (I used the Daisy.  Other flowers are available)
  • Cuttlebug 6" x 13" Plates.  Both C and B plates are needed.
  • White Glue
  • E-6000 Glue
  • Magnets (I used .5 diameter magnets)


Magnet Recipe:
  • Die cut all pieces using different colored card stock.  The picture above shows all the different die cuts included in the Quill Kit.


  • Start with the flower center.  The quilling tool is included in the kit.  Twirl around and around, adding white glue here and there along the way.
  • Once the center is complete, continue with the next flower layer (orange card stock in this picture).  Just glue to the end of your quill center and twirl around adding white glue along the way.


  • The final layer is once again added and twirled.  Secure the end with white glue.

  • Open the petals and add some leaves to your flower.  There were some places that looked a little bare to me, so that's where I attached my leaves.  I think that if I had quilled a little tighter there would have been less open spaces.  My leaf ends were inked with Tim Holtz Tea Dye Distress Ink before attaching with white glue.

  • You will need one .5 inch round magnet.

Use caution when applying E-6000 glue
  • Attach the magnet to the back of the flower with E-6000 glue.  This stuff is permanent, so be careful and don't get any on your self or your work area.

  • All done!  My daisy has joined other flower magnets made with the Cuttlebug Quilling Kits.  Some shown have stickles added to petal and leaf tips.

Hope you have a blessed day and thanks for stopping by,

Fiskars AdvantEdge Punch System Review

Good morning friends, Carolyn here with a review of a new tool I just recently purchased.  Received a newsletter from Scrapbook.com recently and checked it out.  But I did not purchase from Scrapbook.com as it's out of stock, so went to another source, and it arrived this past Saturday afternoon. TIP:  Easy way to create borders for your scrapbook page layouts, or embellishing the page or creating edges for your cards.  Gives you ease of creating a border across the edge(s) of paper; and create a border strip and cut down to size you would like for embellishing a sentiment mat for a card or front of card. Supplies used: Fiskars AdvantEdge Punch System Fiskars' smaller interchangeable border punch cartridges - double scalloped edge   Fiskars AdvantEdge Punch System Here is a short write up about the system: The unique design of the AdvantEdge Punch System by Fiskars allows crafters to add perfectly aligned decorative borders and ribbons to any pr
